Please read them carefully, we mean it.
Before proceeding, it is important to check whether the QT wallet being used contains the 100,000 SYS collateral. To prevent accidental spending of collateral funds —which would result in losing seniority— it is essential to verify that the collateral transaction is locked in QT.
To check and do it follow the steps in the following tutorial:
https://support.syscoin.org/t/how-to-make-sure-your-masternode-collateral-is-locked-in-qt/735
This tutorial is divided into several sections interconnected through different posts.
The user can jump from one post to another depending on the results obtained in each step.
In each section, the result of the step performed will indicate to the user which is the next section to consult with a text like “proceed to Section X”, providing a direct link to continue.
At the end of each post, you will find links to all parts of the tutorial.
Once this has been verified, keep in mind that certain requirements must be met to participate in governance voting:
